A stunning antique circa early 1900s loving cup style trophy handmade by Gorham from leather, copper and sterling silver. The cup has a copper lining, with hand stitched black leather built over it and an applied sterling silver rim and cartouche on the front. The cartouche is engraved to read: L. H. S. '08 "Latus."
In my research I've turned up a champion stallion in the Pacific Northwest who won at least one competition in 1908 named Latus, but I've been unable to find a photo of the stallion or trace this cup to an exact event. Latus was owned by Charles Baner Bussell (C.B. Bussell), who was a prominent Seattle real estate tycoon and developer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
In great condition for its age, no dents or damage to the copper body or sterling, just some very small marks and signs of polishing/use to the silver. The leather has quite a bit of age to it but it still has a beautiful patina and is without any big rips or tears to the stitching.
Measures approximately 6 inches tall by 7 inches wide across the arms.
